2023 was one of the deadliest years for Palestinians prior to October.
*In the West Bank ^
Statistics say otherwise
https://statistics.btselem.org/en/all-fatalities/by-date-of-incident?section=overall&tab=charts
Pretty much all years from 2000-2009 were worse. 2021 and 2018 were worse as well.
Oh sorry, I misremembered, it’s specifically the West Bank.
If you look it up in the Btselem database, that’s not true either. 2002 was higher.
The hot spots in the West Bank were Jenin and Nablus. The reason for the increased deaths were more terrorist activities by new organizations Lion’s Den and Jenin Brigades.

Deadliest for children because Israel targets children.

Resistance groups grow because of the fucking apartheid
These new resistance groups are run by teenagers. The leaders are like 19 years old. Lots of the rank and file are 15-17.
A teenager can hold a gun just fine.
It's almost like 19 is the median age, due to the ongoing apartheid and ethnic cleansing, and Palestinians have only ever known life under the violent supremacist Zionist occupation.
